It's alright man, I'll back you up.

I have no idea what you are talking about but I'm sure you are right..

If anyone has a fix, I would appreciate it.

Oooh mon! /Geordie accent.

Just realised you've got your CSS rules in the actual HTML. Naughty boy!

I'm by no means brilliant at this kind of stuff but I am doing a Uni final year project on this kind of stuff so if I get some free time over the weekend I'll download your main page and see what I can do with it?

Apart from http://www.boat-drinks.co.uk/showthread.php?t=6470?

You have your CSS rules in the actual HTML file. The CSS should really be in an external file. Then all your HTML files link to the CSS file. This means that if you feel like changing your colour scheme or similar you just make the necessary change(s) to your CSS file and hey presto all your HTML files change. Currently you'd have to change each ruddy page, one at a time!

Also your pages have no doctypes so the browser has no idea what to expect when it loads your website pages up.

Why should you have a doctype? http://www.w3.org/QA/Tips/Doctype I'll let W3.org explain.

And if you validate your page using the W3C validator you'll find it doesn't.

There are 19 errors according to the W3C validator. This means that although the code works, it isn't as correct as it should be. One ideal of perfectly validated HTML is that the page will then render correctly in more browsers. So Opera, Firefox, IE etc will render the same page more identically then they do now.

I'm not a web developer so all this is from little or no knowledge.

Where have I done this so I can correct?

Actually, I've just seen it.. I've only done this on the form page which I'm just playing around with tbh.

Where did you get it from? It might be worth getting a book on CSS design. I got one from www.sitepoint.com. This one in fact, has everything I need for my project.

All I know is that tables are kind of boo booed for web design. Tables used for webpages aren't being used for their intended purpose.

I did have a go at fixing the problems causing validation errors but I broke it somehow, not being used to tables.

If you want I could try and re-do the site/page for you without tables. I'm quite busy with Uni but I can do a bit here and there and see what I get for you?
